She's gone...I'm devastated, but hopeful

[minkerman]

SPM~ Thanks for the advice - I was VERY careful not to talk R with the outlaws. Never once did it come up. The only 'hint' was when we hugged goodbye, we all had tears in our eyes, and the unspoken words were very powerful.

Fish~ Thanks for the kind words. I am repeating my mantra when I start to feel pulled towards her - "detach, detach, detach". It seems to help.

She has emailed me twice since my last email to her, and I have not answered. The subject of one of her emails was a recurring tense situation at work, and in the past I would email back showing support. This time, nothing from me. The other email was just to tell me her ipod was working again. Again, no answer from me. I sure wanted to, but I am listening to you guys. I'm never too old to learn! :-)
